Description
Jackie Robinson broke the colour barrier and integrated Major League baseball - changing the game forever. Children will enjoy discovering more about this champion of racial equality, including: his astonishing skill as a four-sport athlete: football, basketball, baseball, and track; how he was court-martialed during World War II for standing up for his rights; why he was chosen to become baseball's first black player; and how he continued to build his civil rights legacy even after his baseball career ended.
